Centelleo, Viura, Moscatel, Sauvignon Blanc, Vino de España, Spain, 2024

Producer Profile

Inspired by Spain’s still largely untapped winemaking heritage, friends, colleagues and Masters of Wine Fergal Tynan and Giles Cooke set off on a journey to find the unsung heroes of Spanish wine – be they regions, growers or winemakers. Fergal’s interest in terroir and Giles’ instincts for flavour urged them on to find quality Spanish wines whose stories had yet to be told. The result is Vinos Más Buscados – a range of great-value wines from across the country that could rightfully be said to represent Spain’s hidden treasures.

Viticulture

The grapes are sourced from a mixture of trellised and bush vines in the Manzanares district of La Mancha- renowned for it's limestone soils. The majority of the grapes are machine harvested at night in order to maintain the acidity and bright, fruit flavours.

Winemaking

Centelleo wines are made entirely from free run juice and fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks and then matured on fine lees until bottling. The resulting wines show unparalleled freshness and aromatics compared to many similarly priced wines from around the world.

Tasting Note

Lemon yellow colour, in the mouth this is a floral wine, with citrus notes and some grapefruit, balanced and with good acidity. The Moscatel adds a little honey on the nose.

Food Matching

Salads, cheeses and fish.
